LVL beams

Some constructions call for more than just solid wood. That is why we offer LVL beams for timber constructions where strength, stability and dimensional stability are crucial. Thanks to their well-thought-out build-up, LVL beams are ideal for applications where high performance and workability must go hand in hand.

LVL beams: for strength and precision

LVL beams consist of several thin layers of veneer wood bonded together under high pressure. This build-up creates a particularly strong and stable beam, with high dimensional stability and reliable technical performance. That is precisely why LVL beams are a smart choice in timber constructions where precision and load-bearing capacity matter.

We offer two types of laminated veneer lumber (LVL):

  • LVL-C: 20% of the veneer layers are cross-bonded
  • LVL-P for walls: all veneer layers are bonded in parallel

LVL-P offers particularly high strength and stiffness in the lengthwise direction and is therefore well suited to beams, studs and columns. LVL-C, on the other hand, performs more strongly perpendicular to the grain and is therefore more often used for panels and lintels.

Features of LVL beams

  • High strength and stiffness
  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • LVL-P and LVL-C available
  • For beams, columns, panels and lintels

The right type for every application

Choose LVL-P when strength and stiffness in the lengthwise direction are decisive, for example for beams, studs and columns. For panels and lintels, where the load acts perpendicular to the grain, LVL-C is the better choice. This way, you always have a structural element that exactly matches the technical requirements of your project.
